T20 International – Czech Republic v Turkey: Bowlers are often beaten in T20 Internationals but sometimes the opposite is also true. In the T20 match, a team was bundled out for just 21 runs. The amazing thing is that the team in front had scored 278 runs while batting first.
In T20 cricket, there is often a lot of fanfare of batsmen. The bowlers get beaten up and the batsmen speak loudly. But sometimes such matches are also seen where the batting piles up like a pack of cards and then a shameful record is made which will never be forgotten. Something similar happened with the Turkish team, which suffered a humiliating 257-run defeat against the Czech Republic. Turkey’s team was bundled out for just 21 runs and the batsmen were able to stay on the crease for only 51 balls.
when Turkey wreaked havoc
This match was played about 3 years ago in the year 2019 in Iflov. This match of the Continental Cup took place at the Moara Cricket Ground where the Czech Republic was batting first. The batsmen of the Czech Republic wreaked havoc as soon as they landed on the crease. Honey Ghory scored 32 runs in 21 balls but his partner Sumit Pokhriyal scored 79 runs in 52 balls. After this, Shaun Dalton was out on the very first ball. Wicketkeeper Hilal Ahmed could also score only 8 runs. But Sudesh Vikramasekara, who came out to bat at number five, brought a storm. This player played an innings of 104 runs in just 36 balls. 10 sixes, 8 fours came off Sudesh’s bat. Meaning 92 runs were scored by Sudesh with sixes and fours. Czech Republic made a huge score of 278 runs in 20 overs. The batsmen of this team hit 14 sixes, 29 fours.
Turkey’s humiliating defeat
After beating the bowlers badly, the Turkish batsmen crossed the limit. Turkey’s first 4 batsmen could not even open the account. Wicketkeeper and captain Hasan Helva got bowled by Ghory. Serde Cansoy, Risip Ulutuna tackles on the very first ball. Ahmed Dursak also could not open the account. After this, Serkan also settled on 0. Turkey’s first 6 batsmen added only 1 run. That is, Mehmet Sart made 12 runs in 11 balls and pushed the team’s score forward, otherwise this team might not even have scored 10 runs. Not a single boundary was hit from the Turkish side. At the same time, Sameer and Honey Ghory took 3-3 wickets for Czech Republic. Sudesh got 2 wickets. While two players were run out.
